Hooked on Saving the World

Newsweek has published an article that talks about fantasy role-playing games and their surge in popularity over the last few years. Mentioned in the article are the PC games Dungeon Siege, Neverwinter Nights, and Warcraft III. Check it out:

Game makers have tried for years to capture the spirit of Dungeons & Dragons, but they couldn’t mimic the social interactions that made the role-playing game so popular. Development studio BioWare Corp. has finally brought the Dungeons & Dragons experience to life with Neverwinter Nights, possibly the richest fantasy PC experience ever created. In addition to a very challenging single-player adventure, you can also design your own gaming world where you create unique obstacles and objectives, then pull the strings behind the scenes while other players wage the epic battle.
